CrossCountry Mortgage appraisal fee investigation, who it is for and what signing up involves
Last checked August 30, 2026
If you paid an appraisal fee on a CrossCountry Mortgage loan, this investigation may be about you. Attorneys allege CrossCountry routed appraisals through an appraisal management company it owns and kept a large share of what borrowers paid, well above the actual cost of the appraisal.
This is attorney intake, not a settled class action. There is no fund and no claim form. You submit your information, the firm reviews it and decides whether to take the case. No one promises representation or a recovery.
Signing up is free, and attorneys are paid only if the case succeeds. Payout is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.
You may qualify if
- ✓You took out a mortgage through CrossCountry Mortgage.
- ✓You paid an appraisal fee as part of that loan.
- ✓The appraisal was handled through CrossCountry's own appraisal management company.
What you need to file
The listing names no required documents. The sign-up asks for your details so an attorney can review them. Your closing disclosure or loan estimate, which lists the appraisal fee, is the record most likely to matter if the firm follows up.
There is no administrator and no notice ID. You deal directly with the law firm.
Deadline and what you get
No public deadline is listed. The listing is marked open for claims, and intake can close at any time.
No participant payment exists at this stage. The investigation page says a court may, at its discretion, award class representatives $1,000 to $10,000 plus compensation tied to actual damages. That applies to class representatives only, and only if a class action is filed and wins.
Questions about the Cross Country Mortgage case
Is there money to claim right now?
No. This is an investigation. Any recovery depends on a case being filed, its outcome and a separate agreement with the firm.
What does the sign-up cost?
Nothing. Participation is free and attorneys are paid only if the case succeeds.
Do I need my loan paperwork to sign up?
The listing does not require it. Your closing disclosure shows the appraisal fee and would help if the firm asks for it.
